2020-08-08 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.8
* Support for OCaml-4.11
2020-02-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.7
* Support for OCaml-4.10
2018-05-07 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.6
* Support for OCaml-4.07
2017-12-06 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.5
2017-12-05 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Support for native plugins (cmxs files) (Jaap Boender)
* Fix Nettls_gnutls: If a TLS server is configured to
authenticate the client, it does not expect that the
name in the certificate matches the DNS name of the
client. (In particular, the check is not done anymore
when [peer_name] is [None].)
* Fix: compatibility with library Nettle-3.4
2017-08-14 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.4
* Fix: incompatibility for OCaml < 4.03 because of -opaque
2017-08-05 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerdbook.fritz.box>
* Release 4.1.3
* Building modules with -opaque flag when we don't install the cmx file
* Fix: incompatbility with OCaml-4.05 (O_KEEPEXEC flag)
* Fix: the local cppo built has been made compatible with -safe-string
2016-06-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release 4.1.2
* Fixes so that OCamlnet builds with OCaml-4.03
2016-02-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release 4.1.1
* Cryptography: adding basic support for public key cryptography
(provided by GnuTLS)
2016-01-31 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Authentication: the module types for SASL and HTTP authentication
have been changed to a stateless style. Added an experimental
SCRAM module for HTTP.
2016-01-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Nethttp_client: Supporting Digest authentication with
SHA-256 as hash algorithm. Supporting Basic authentication
with "charset" parameter.
2016-01-24 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* XDR/RPC: supporting that direct mappings can be disabled
when this is disadvantegous. For now, this is done for
internal RPC services, because direct mappings do not
copy values, which would be very surprising here.
2015-12-01 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netplex: adding support for so-called internal services.
This is a fast and type-safe way of exchanging messages
between netplex containers.
2015-11-28 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* ALL MODULES: Transitioning to the new "bytes" type for
mutable strings while using "string" only for immutable
strings. If compiled with OCaml-4.02 or newer, Ocamlnet
is built with the -safe-string compiler option.
2015-11-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Netplex_sharedvar: implementing a new protocol that uses shared
memory for announcing variable updates. Also, almost all functions
can now be called from controller context.
* Netsys_global: new module, for keeping a dictionary of global
strings. The dictionary is connected with Netplex_sharedvar, so
that the strings can be updated across process boundaries if used
with Netplex.
* Netsys_polysocket: adding this module
2015-07-05 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netsys_polypipe: adding this module
2015-01-05 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netasn1_encoder: new module for encding ASN.1 messages
-- OCamlnet-4.1 fork
2015-10-03 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netnumber: on 64 bit platforms, the functions lt_uint4 and
lt_uint8 were wrong. Fixed now.
2015-06-21 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release 4.0.4
* GnuTLS: compatibility with GnuTLS-3.4.2
* Nethttpd_plex: the post_add_hook was not called by accident
(since OCamlnet-4); this is now fixed.
* Nethtml: new option case_sensitive
2015-06-14 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* GnuTLS: initializing the library on-demand. This avoids that
/dev/random is kept open all the time since program start, and
works around incompatibilities with Netplex. (Thomas Calderon
found the problem.)
* GnuTLS: setting DH parameters on certificates (this was forgotten in
previous releases). (Thomas Calderon found the problem.)
2015-04-27 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Release 4.0.3
* GnuTLS: supporting GnuTLS versions where SRP is disabled.
Supporting GnuTLS-3.4.
2015-02-26 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release 4.0.2
* OpenBSD build: fix linker option (Christopher Zimmermann)
2015-02-23 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Equeue: There is a new method request_proxy_notification,
which is only used by Uq_engines.qseq_engine (but unfortunately
needs to appear in the public type of the object). This new
method permits that chains of Uq_engines.qseq_engine pairs
can now be arbitrarily long without consuming too much memory
and without the danger of getting stack overflows.
This fixes issues where notification chains got too long. In
particular, we saw a stack overflow when retrieving a video
stream via HTTP. The stream was sent with many chunks, resulting
in a long Uq_engines.qseq_engine chain.
Implementers of engines can simply define request_proxy_notification
as no-ops.
2015-01-27 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Nethttp.set_content_range: this function generated an incorrect
header (the "bytes" word was missing). (Török Edwin)
2015-01-18 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Release 4.0.1
* _oasis is generated from _oasis.in
2014-12-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netplex: the Netplex socket directory has a different default
if not specified in the config file.
* Netshm: the POSIX specifier has now two args
* IPv6: automatically enabled if there is a global IPv6 address
* Unicode tables: Moved them to a separate netunidata library.
This library needs to be linked in for getting access to the
tables (this is no longer the default).
* Renamings: Http_client, Ftp_client etc. => Nethttp_client,
Netftp_client
Mimestring => Netmime_string
Xdr => Netxdr
* Netmime: moved functions to Netmime_header and Netmime_channels
* Netmech_scram: Removed the check that passwords only consist of
ASCII chars. The user can now call Netsaslprep.saslprep.
* Removed: rpc-auth-dh, nethttpd-for-netcgi2
2014-09-28 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Http_client: the authentication mechanisms are now encapsulated
in a first-class module HTTP_MECHANISM. So far, there is Digest
authentication in this form. The signature of HTTP_MECHANISM
is similar to SASL_MECHANISM.
Another visible change is that the insecure Basic authentication
is no longer enabled for non-TLS-secured connections. This can be
changed back by setting flags, though.
Some fixes in the design improve Digest authentication for proxy
connections.
2014-09-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Netpop: implementating SASL authentication for POP3. Moved Netpop
into netclient.
* Netsmtp: implementing SASL authentication for SMTP. Moved Netsmtp
into netclient.
* Adding a framework for SASL, and a number of mechanisms
(PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA1).
2014-08-31 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* fcgi/scgi/ajp connectors: exporting a handle_connection function,
and unifying existing such functions (Christopher Zimmermann)
2014-08-20 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* adding support for modular cryptography (symmetric ciphers and
digests)
* SCRAM is now implemented with the new crypto providers
* removing dependency on Cryptokit
* removed library netgssapi; now part of netsys/netstring
* removed library netmech-scram; now part of netstring
Ocamlnet-4 adds:
- new library netgss-system
- new library nettls-gnutls
- removed equeue-ssl and rpc-ssl
- X.500 modules Netasn1, Netdn, Netx509
- Crypto definitions Netsys_crypto_types, Netsys_crypto
- TLS modules Netsys_tls, Nettls_support
- Support for SASL and GSSAPI
- Moved many functions from Uq_engines to new modules in
the equeue library (Uq_client, Uq_server, Uq_multiplex,
Uq_transfer)
Development of Ocamlnet-4 starts
======================================================================
2014-10-27 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad>
* Release ocamlnet-3.7.7
2014-10-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netsys_posix.mli.mkfifoat: this function is not supported on
OS X 10.10, and this is now detected at config time.
2014-09-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Release ocamlnet-3.7.6
* netstring-pcre: removing dependency on camlp4 (an oversight).
2014-09-06 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Fixing bad format strings (Damien Doligez)
2014-08-31 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Release ocamlnet-3.7.5
* Windows: various fixes, including int sizes for 64-bit Windows,
the invocation of cppo, and CR characters. Also, unixsupport.h
is now used instead of declaring the prototypes directly.
(Andreas Hauptmann)
* C99: use int64_t instead of int64 in C code. The latter is gone
in OCaml-4.02. (Richard Jones)
2014-08-25 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Build: no longer requiring camlp4 (as it is not distributed with
ocaml-4.02)
* Fixing some unit tests
2014-08-24 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Netexn: new exception representation in ocaml-4.02
* Build: renaming file for a configure test to avoid a
naming conflict (Richard Jones)
2013-10-01 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Release OCamlnet-3.7.4
* Https_client and aggressive connection caching: In previous
versions there was a problem with the reinitialization of the
SSL socket when a former connection was reused. The fix requires
an API change of connection_cache: The SSL socket can now be
stored with the inactive connection.
* Http_client: fixing a bug with connection caching: Address
resolution was not taken into account for computing the key
in the connection cache.
2013-09-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* ssl_exts_stubs.c: releasing global lock on shutdown error
(Török Edwin)
2013-09-08 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Uq_ssl: Fix error path when SSL connection fails during the
handshake
* NB. Ocamlnet-3.7.1 to 3.7.3 only contain fixes of the build
system, and one minor change to make ocaml-4.01 happy
2013-08-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.7.0
* Shell.to_file: implement the append flag as documented
(bug reported by David Chase)
* The libraries netcamlbox and netmulticore are now only built
if completely supported.
* Porting netcamlbox and netmulticore to ocaml-4.01:
There are new implementations in OCaml for caml_modify and
caml_initialize that are incompatible with our usage here.
Fortunately, these symbols are now weak, and we can override
them. This is done in netsys.outofheap, and for the time being
we just use the old implementation from ocaml-4.00.
2013-08-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Porting netsys to ocaml-4.01: O_CLOEXEC is now supported
if found
2013-08-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Netsys_sem: fix for systems that don't have
Netsys_posix.sysconf_open_max (e.g. Win32).
(Davild Allsopp)
2013-08-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Http_fs: read method: fixing a problem with resent messages
* Http_client: better reaction after "100" responses

verbose_response_contents again
* Uq_ssl: debugging of payload data (Uq_ssl.Debug.dump_data)
2013-08-13 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@e130>
* Http_fs: fixing chunked encoding for PUT (this is already done
in Http_client)
* Nethttp: new function base_code
* Http_client: handling the case better that an unknown status code is
returned by the server. Before, [response_status] simply
raised [Not_found]. Now, the base status is returned instead.
2013-07-31 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Extending ocamlrpcgen: It supports now six new directives,
_lowercase, _uppercase, _capitalize, _prefix, _equals,
and _tuple (see documentation).
2013-07-21 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.6.6
* Netplex_container: emits now backtraces if these are enabled.
* Http_fs: adding [last_response_status] method
* Rpc_client: fixing a potential endless loop when session IDs
are reused
* Rpc_client: fixing the shutdown when a TCP connection is
immediately refused, and GSS-API authentication is active.
2013-06-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Netcgi_fcgi.run: no longer ignoring the sockaddr argument
(problem reported by Watanabe Masaki)
2013-06-13 Gerd Stolpmann
* Remove duplicate method Netpop.stat
2013-06-06 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.6.5
* Build fix for netstring-pcre
2013-06-03 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@zotac>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.6.4
* Regular expressions: The config switch -enable-pcre no
longer switches the default backend to PCRE. The default
remains Str, and only Netstring_pcre is additionally
built. The new switch -enable-full-pcre has now the
stronger meaning of also using PCRE as default backend.
New documentation page Regexp explaining this.
* Netmcore_basics.txt: more documentation for Netmulticore
2013-05-27 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netgzip.ml: Fixing a bug in the inflating pipe (bad calculation
of the crc)
* Netplex_mbox: implementation of a simple message box allowing
communication between Netplex components. This module does
neither need Netmulticore nor Netcamlbox, but is relatively slow.
2013-05-13 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* netcgi2-apache: fixing build against apache-2.4.
* netcgi2-apache: fixing bug that PKGNAME was incorrect
* netcgi2-apache: the directory of the OCaml stdlib is now
added via rpath to mod_netcgi_apache.so so that
libcamlrun_shared.so is automatically found
* Http_client: more liberal interpretation of the "domain" part
of authentication keys
* src/netsys/netsys_c_poll.c: Fix FD_CLOEXEC
(Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>)
2013-03-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Http_client authentication: The domain for authentication
keys can be set to ["*"]. Also, port number can be omitted
in such domains.
* Http_client authentication: adding skip_challenges auth style
* Uq_engines: New [qseq_engine] class. This is the same as
[seq_engine], but it does not forward pure progress events.
The operator [++] is now backed by [qseq_engine]. This change
fixes performance bugs (e.g. Http_client had problems with
HTTP responses consisting of many chunks).
2013-02-12 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netmcore, Netmcore_process: also adding a function [run] in
in addition to [startup] for jobs that want to return something.
With [join_nowait] one can now get the result of the first process.
Also updated examples/multicore/create_join.ml.
2013-02-10 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netplex_main: new function [run], designed for compute
jobs run under Netplex regime
* Netdate: adding ISO-8601 week numbering. Fixing test suite
and some bugs
2013-01-13 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release OCamlnet-3.6.3
* Netmcore_heap.mli: allowing to [add] bigarrays. New
function [add_string] for creating uninitialized strings on
heaps. New function [add_immutable] for retaining value sharing.
* Netsys_mem: New options [Copy_conditionally] and [Keep_atom]
for function [init_value].
2012-12-26 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release OCamlnet-3.6.2
* netsys_c_subprocess.c: fixing a deadlock issue
(when calling commands via the Shell library)
2012-11-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netdate: Fix interpretation of the ~localzone argument
of several functions. Now the timezone is assumed for the
target time, not the calling time
* Netdate: Adding localization
* Netconversion: Adding functions for converting to lowercase/
uppercase/titlecase, and for case-insensitive comparison
2012-11-07 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release OCamlnet-3.6.1
* Fix Netfs.copy: When the copy method throws EXDEV, it is
fallen back to a streaming-type copy
* Several fixes for OS X
* Daemonizer: now using a signal for waiting until the children
are up and running
* Fixes for OCaml-4.00
2012-09-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Better endianness check as suggested by Matias Giovannini
* Fixing handling of `Recv_send_implied sockets in
socket_multiplex_controller

is available under the findlib name "zip" or "camlzip"
2012-07-20 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.6
* Netsys_sem: a new abstraction for emulating anonymous
semaphores on systems that only provide named semaphores,
like OS X. All users of semaphores inside Ocamlnet now
base on Netsys_sem.
2012-07-19 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* reimplementing Netstring_str for the case the Str engine
is used. It is now thread-safe without having to use
mutexes.
* The default is now -disable-pcre
* The module Netstring_pcre has been moved to a library of its
own, namely netstring-pcre. It is only installed if -enable-pcre
2012-06-27 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Nethttp.Header.best_media_type: improved
(patch by Christopher Zimmemann)
2012-06-22 Gerd Stolpmann
* Netsys_mem.alloc_memory_pages: one can now mark the memory
pages as executable

* src/netsys/configure: disabling POSIX semaphore check
for win32
2012-05-26 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Fixes for OpenBSD (by Christopher Zimmermann)
* Netcgi connectors (SCGI, AJP, FCGI): unifying the ~sockaddr
and ~port arguments. ~port now also assumes a loopback binding.
(Suggested by Christopher Zimmermann).
2012-03-15 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Allowing posix_spawn again for MacOS. It turns out the
number of file actions is limited. If we are above the
limit, posix_spawn is not used.
2012-03-01 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Ssl_exts: adding function for returning the fingerprint of
a certificate
* Https_client: new verify callback for additional certificate
checks
2012-02-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.5.1
* Fixing various build problems:
- FreeBSD-9: clock_getcpuclockid problem
- FreeBSD-9: PATH_MAX problem
- Mac OS: disbling posix_spawn (cannot debug this right now)
- Linux: adding -lpthread to ocamlopt link flags
2012-02-22 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Release Ocamlnet-3.5
* Documentation: new Equeue_howto introduction into Equeue/engines
2012-02-21 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netplex: new option "greedy_accpepts" for improving the speed
of Netplex systems accepting new connections at a very high
rate (> 1000/s).
* Netplex: the constant workload manager gets the option
max_jobs_per_thread.
2012-02-20 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Netchannels: new option ~pass_through for buffered netchannels
* Netshm_data.string_manager: speeding up (using memory_of_bigarray)
* Netsys_mem.memory_of_bigarray: added
* Netmcore_condition: There is now a second kind of wait_entry
allowing it to wait via file descriptor polling.
2012-02-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Http_client: fixing the case that a non-idempotent request
needs authentication, but should always be tried again even
if reconnect_mode does not allow to create a new connection.
* Netplex: making many container methods/functions thread-safe
2012-02-15 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Uq_mt: this new module coordinates access to shared
engine-based resources from multiple threads (e.g.
share an RPC client by several threads)
* Uq_ssl + Https_client: fixing problem when the client
times out while still connecting. Before, the module closed the
file descriptor too early. (Thanks to Henry Hughes for
reporting.)
2012-02-14 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* XDR/RPC: implemented direct mapping from byte representation
to Ocaml value. Use new switch -direct with ocamlrpcgen to
enable.
2012-02-10 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Xdr: additional check against invalid XDR messages.
* Xdr: calling Netnumber instead of Rtypes
* Netnumber: speeding int8 readers and writers up (only on
64 bit systems)
2012-02-08 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* epoll: Adding support. This is exported as "event aggregator" in
Netsys_posix (the API is prepared for other poll implementations).
There is also Netsys_pollset_posix.accelerated_pollset.
* Netplex: Adding container_event_system and container_run
to [processor_hooks] so users can override these functions
(for using Lwt in Netplex containers).
2012-02-06 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netsys_posix: Adding a second implementation for spawn
basing on posix_spawn
2012-02-05 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Netsys_posix: Adding POSIX clock functions. These allow
operations with nanosecond resolution
* Netlog and Netdate have been extended to support high
resolution clocks. New "nanos" field in Netdate.t.
* Netsys_posix: Adding event abstraction. Under Linux this is backed by
eventfd and timerfd. For other OS, an emulation with pipes is
available.
* Netsys_posix: Adding POSIX timers. They can be connected with
events (the event is signaled when the timer expires).
* Netsys in general: Splitting netsys_c.c up into several files.
Improved configure script.
* Netplex_log: Using the new standard formatter.
2012-01-23 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@samsung>
* Http_client: forgot to configure Digest authentication
for the convenience module (thanks to Paolo Donadeo for
finding it)
2012-01-13 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Fix memory leak: Adding finalizer for Netsys_posix.poll_mem
values (thanks to Henry Hughes)
* Fix (build): ocamlrpcgen respects existing OCAMLPATH
(Dmitry Grebeniuk)
2011-12-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de>
* Security: adding limit max_arguments to Netcgi. This is more
a general measure of precaution against DoS attacks where
a specially crafted POST request contains many keys that
collide massively in the hash table. Actually, Ocamlnet is
not directly vulnerable; however, application programs can
nevertheless be when they access a degenerated hash table.
2011-10-12 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Release 3.4.1
2011-10-11 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Rpc_client: new functions get_xid_of_last_call, and
abandon_call
2011-09-23 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* rpc-auth-local: Implementing this for more types of OS.
* Rpc: fixing some bugs
2011-09-20 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Rpc_client and Rpc_server: disabling the Nagle
algorithm. At the same time, Rpc_transport is improved
so it almost never calls write() several times with
small strings.
2011-09-10 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* bugfixes in the Netplex shutdown procedure
2011-08-30 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Uq_io: adding input_lines_e
* IPv6 support for Neturl and Uq_resolver. Also fixes in Uq_socks5
and netcgi2.
* Netplex: print line number for syntax errors in config files.
* Netplex: the method socket_directory returns an absolute
path. The method startup_directory is now also available in
containers.
* Release 3.4
2011-08-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Http_client: one can set a different proxy server for each
transport type
* Netfs: new methods read_file and write_file, for file-based
downloads and uploads, respectively.
* Netfs: new method cancel to stop an upload prematurely
* Http_fs, Ftp_fs: new method translate to get the URL for a file
operation
* Ftp_fs: the get_password and get_account functions take the user
name as input
2011-08-23 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Build fixes for Ocaml-3.11. There were some regressions.
2011-08-16 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>

* Released: ocamlnet-3.3.7
2011-08-03 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>

Http_client, Netplex, Rpc) by recycling bigarray buffers
more quickly

netplex.mem.pools, netplex.mem.stats
* Docs netplex_admin.txt
2011-07-29 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Shell: calling subprograms did not work when multi-threading
was enabled because of a caml_leave_blocking_section
without prior caml_enter_blocking_section. This is fixed.
* Uq_ssl: Changed the method of closing SSL tunnels. Before,
a close-notify SSL message was sent, and also expected by the
peer before the connection was closed on TCP level. Now,
we half-close the TCP connection immediately after sending
close-notify. This seems to fix some SSL sessions where the
server ignores close-notify, and only reacts on TCP closes.
This method of closing seems to be ok with the standard,
which is apparently not very precise on SSL closures.
* Released: Ocamlnet-3.3.6
2011-07-20 Gerd Stolpmann <gerd@thinkpad.lan.sumadev.de>
* Fix filter in Rpc_server: they are no longer accidentally reset for
